Week 8: Measurement Strand

Measurement in the Early Childhood Curriculum

1. Communication Items

Submit the Burns assignment in Dropbox.

2. Chapter Presentation Group Meeting. The first hour of class will be spent on meeting with your group to prepare for your presentation. You should be actively involved in planning: working on some aspect of your presentation (outline, content area, visual, activity, etc.)

Use the data you collected from the What’s in Your Hand activity. Construct a Double Bar Graph – use data from all five “fingers” to compare estimated amount to actual amount.

Journal

When a child hears the comment, “Just a minute”, how do you think he, or she, is interpreting the measurement of time? Explain what “Just a minute” means to you. How do these two perspectives differ? (7pts)
